Today was a great day. A beautiful sunny day in L.A. and me getting to do what I love most, work on a feature film. That would have been enough to make it a good day, but working at the AMAZING Air Hollywood studios with such incredible people made it great. It was a last […]

Last night I had the privilege of attending a Q&A with Forest Whitaker at the Aero Theatre, followed by a screening of The Butler and Fruitvale Station. I got there very early and scored a front row center seat. Before the Q&A, a short montage played that included scenes from just some of the films […]

From the day I received an email from LACMA announcing that they would be screening the world premiere of the 4K Digital Cinema Master of Rebel Without a Cause restored from an 8K scan of the original CinemaScope 2.55:1 widescreen camera negative, I’ve been looking forward to seeing it. My excitement was compounded by the […]

Another year, another Film Outside the Frame, which gives me a great excuse to check out Hollywood Forever Cemetery again. Founded in 1899, it’s located on Santa Monica Boulevard, right around the corner from Paramount Pictures and is a very cool place. Aside from being the final resting place for some entertainment industry legends, many […]

On Saturday I attended my third Film Outside the Frame. My freshman year, the awards were held at Warner Bros and, for the last two years, they have been at Paramount Pictures. Film Outside the Frame is LMU SFTV’s annual student film festival and awards ceremony which honors both current and former students, including distinguished […]

This is where I am interning all summer, and it’s just one of the reasons I am already loving my internship. The building located at 2000 Avenue of the Stars is often referred to as The CAA Building, even though it houses more than just the Creative Artists Agency. To many in the entertainment industry […]

Earlier this week I went to a screening at LACMA of Before Midnight, Richard Linklater’s third installment giving us a glimpse into the lives of Jesse and Celine, played by Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. Before Midnight, along with Before Sunrise (1995) and Before Sunset (2004), are the three films that LACMA film curator Elvis Mitchell […]

Academy Award winning director Danny Boyle came to LACMA last night to screen his latest film, Trance, which stars James McAvoy, Rosario Dawson and Vincent Cassel. Trance tells the story of a young art auction house assistant (McAvoy) who becomes mixed up with a group of criminals (led by Cassel). The screenplay, written by Joe […]

This week’s certainly been busy, in part, because I was lucky enough to score a gig as an onstage audience member (thanks, Gotham Casting!) for the 39th Annual People’s Choice Awards, Wednesday night at the Nokia Theater. As events played out, I ended up inviting a good friend, Shannon Wagner (who appeared in a couple of my early […]

This year’s festivities were held on October 27 in the Paramount Theater on Paramount Pictures’ Studio Lot. As you can see in the photo gallery below, it […]

After spending the afternoon at the Paramount Theatre on the Paramount Pictures lot rehearsing for Film Outside the Frame 2012, I checked out Hollywood Forever, which is just around the corner. Paramount Studios was actually built on the back half of the original Hollywood Memorial Park Cemetery. The cemetery was founded in 1899 and is […]

AT LAST, I HAVE HEADSHOTS! Now that my IMDb page finally contains some legit credits, it seemed like it was also time to add professional photos. That meant getting some headshots taken. Picking the right photographer in Los Angeles, from the endless choices in this town, can be an overwhelming task. Well, I really got lucky […]

Last week, my classmates and I had an unusual opportunity (thanks to an SFTV class assignment) to roam all over the Sony Property Department warehouse in Culver City. We’ve all seen the period pieces and the action films, and all those behind-the-scenes tell-all and ”the making of” featurettes, but when you actually get to rummage through […]

ABOUT ME

My name is Tyler Nicholas.

I’m an experienced videographer and film / television / new media editor, relocated from LA and seeking professional opportunities in Seattle, after graduating with honors from the renowned School of Film & Television at Loyola Marymount University.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a passion for telling stories through film and video, creating well over a hundred original shorts, documentaries, and even stop-motion animations. I’ve worked on both sides of the camera on literally dozens of student and professional film and television projects and am proficient with all major non-linear editing systems (AVID Certified). I’ve also had the good fortune to collaborate with immensely talented people including Mel Gibson, Glenn Plummer, Kurt Sutter, Chris Parnell, Valerie Faris and Jonathan Dayton, to name just a few.

Away from the set, soundstage and editing bay, I’m passionate about art history, photography, and music, playing both keyboards and guitar.
